Husbands

Famous quotes containing the word husbands:

“Being the sons of mothers whose husbands had blundered rather brutally through their feminine sanctities, they were themselves too diffident and shy. They could easier deny themselves than incur any reproach from a woman; for a woman was like their mother, and they were full of the sense of their mother. They preferred themselves to suffer the misery of celibacy, rather than risk the other person.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“...women should be silent in the churches.... If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 14:34.
